Upvote.

Death Grips
Slayer
The Stooges
Gorguts
Death

I'd say King Crimson but their stuff is a bitch to find and it's a huge discog.

I couldn't possible say something different about 10+ slayer albums. They all get a 3. There. Done.

Hopefully not stepping on Blank's toes here, but then these would all be discographies from one artist, not separate albums. Suggestions so far include:

ABBA
The Beatles
Beck
Brian Jonestown Massacre
Kate Bush
Johnny Cash
The Clash
The Cure
Depeche Mode
Bob Dylan
PJ Harvey
Michael Jackson
Madonna
Willie Nelson
New Order
Outkast
Prince
Queens of the Stone Age
Radiohead
Roxy Music (Incl. Bryan Ferry solo)
The Smiths
Bruce Springsteen
Velvet Underground
Tom Waits
Stevie Wonder

Any others? Anyone want to do this? More suggestions welcome, or tell me which of the above list you're interested in.

i like those artists

It's only Tuesday and I'm thinking we wait till we complete the Bowie discog before kicking another artist off, but I'm kind of leaning towards either The Cure or The Smiths. Votes for either, or any other choices for the first artist we do?

Also, the plan is to do as we are with Bowie, one album per day, but the polls won't close (maybe at all) so there's no hurry to do each album as it comes up. It just keeps the interest for those who are, well, interested enough in the artist, rather than take a week on each album, and it also helps hurry up the queue so that we're not, like me, old and grey by the time we get to the tenth or so artist.

Everyone ok with that?

The VU

Also to avoid saturation maybe we should do every other day.

Did anyone else find going through the bowels of Bowie’s mediocrity depressing?

I’d rather pretend some of those records didn’t exist. It’s like going over old times- you’re supposed to gloss over the bad stuff
